Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Weezer]

It is my sworn duty as VN's most beloved poster to defend Tennessee's honor against idiots like D1 Baseball and Pat Forde. I will not calm down. I will fight the enemy!


They can meet me at the Papermill Waffle House.

I’ve done a lot of home repairs but never messed with windows.

Our tennant moved out of one of our rentals and left us a busted window. The bottom half inner pane is what’s busted. These windows have latches so you can tilt them in, etc. I haven’t messed with it because the glass is shattered.

This is a pic from the outside. Thought I took pics from inside but I guess not and I’m not at the property anymore.

Can anyone tell buy looking if just the bottom half can be replaced or if the entire window needs to be replaced

Not sure I'd rent from you.... "HoleInTheRoof"

Now you could change your name to "HoleInTheWindow" though.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Whole window. You’ll have alignment issues otherwise

Yep, also a lot easier to replace oddly enough. A good hardware store can likely buy you the same style with measurements and a few pictures even.

Rankings matter 2 times a year.

Being ranked in top 8 by the committee to get to host Regional and Super Regional is one. The other is being ranked #1 after the last out of the CWS.. the rest of the year is just click bait to get reactions from fans.

Agree, but at a point I have to call out the troll job. I am not clicking any of their nonsense.

Probably better to replace the whole window. Window repairs are such a pane

Also, LSU has a loss. We're undefeated and defending national champions. The D1 people are idiots.

I will relay this message when I cast my vote on the poll next week ...

Clearly.

A pane in the glass, if you will.

Viewed where Jaxson Dart made him some cash after his showing at Combine. Potential 1st round draft pick now..


Thorton going go sooner in draft now after showing out at combine as well.. Pearce was already going in 1st round probably moved up a couple of spots after his great combine...

Pearce dropping with soap opera addicts overthinking crap (again). Then lightbulbs go off when the “punk” runs a 4.4. I think Dart is waves better than Levis (so is playground dirt), but their draft paths seem similar. Lot of good workouts and hype ending up a high second round selection. I’m thinking either New York team. OR he pulls a JJ McCarthy sans NC glow. Knew Thornton was a physical freak, but team INTERVIEWS are going to be paramount to his draft outcome imo.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Vols are still in a "buy low" sort of situation with our players...doesn't help that Hyatt, Wright, Hooker, and Tillman haven't really produced at a high level.

Byron Young though being what he has been...I think NFL teams will put a bit more trust in our DL because of that. Pearce is taller and more developed than Young and nearly as fast too. Really don't expect him to drop out of the 1st round.

The Pearce character stuff doesn't make sense and it does feel like a play by some teams to get him to drop to them. At the same time, it would be nice if Heupel would publicly speak out in support of Pearce against these character attacks. If he doesn't, then maybe there was a lot going on behind the scenes that we weren't aware of.

The Bra podcast indicated, weeks ago, that there was a 'reason coaches didnt let him talk.' Further, 'not that he would say anything, kid rarely say anything.' Paraphrasing.

We will see on draft day. All i can gather from what has been shared is dude was not a fun teammate. I am sure there have been a lot of those through the years on a lot of squads.

 

[volfaninpa]

I'd have "character issues" too if I was held as many times this season as Pearce was and it didn't get called.

 

[jave36]

Yeah Cory Kinnan is a nobody far as I can tell...

But he likely has a NFL team or two pushing this narrative into his ear to try and get Pearce to slide for them to snag with a later pick. Happens almost every draft and most these no-name or small time media folks always take the bait cause they want insider connections to help make them.

Or more likely he saw some media activity around it (started by an NFL team like you suggested) and totally made up the post based on what he's read to get clicks.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I think part of the thing with Pearce is he's just a quiet guy. I think in this specific situation saying anything is just fanning a dying flame.

Cause it'll quickly get turned around to a "if there aren't concerns why did he feel the need to address it?"

To me a real character issue guy would be Tyler Baron...but he has less draft stock so no one is trying to create a false narrative to have him slide.

I didn’t say how lol. But that kinda misses the point. If someone my size can go high on the net there’s no excuse for multiple misses on the easiest of shots when you’re close to being able to drop it in flat footed.

Al Wilson was a fun teammate, constantly getting in your face, demanding you give your best, not caring about feelings...

John Henderson was a great listener, liked long walks, and really developing deep long lasting relationships.

Juan Jennings loves excuses, when he's out taking a linebackers legs out for you to run. He definitely wants to snuggle.

In short:

If you're talking about the 2 Felix missed against Bama I was thinking that myself. One was almost a too aggressive slam, it was like him pulling on the rim hit the ball or something and it bounced out. The other I think he just didn't have a good grip and wasn't quite able to guide it in.

I love Felix, but at times he almost tries to put too much into dunks and blocks. I think a few of these bigs should spend some time watching Bill Russell film. A block should steal you a possession and you can do that without trying to swat them into the stands.

I hate when our players go to crappy teams. Hyatt and Tillman are definitely better than their stats.
